CUZ's 435g system

[cuz]

took 4 1/2hrs but its filled and running now!!! Had 1 leaky union on a 2" valve but a quick trip to canadian tire of new o-rings and all is good!!

I drilled a 3/16 hole just below the water lines on the returns for a syphon break but i think I'll fill them in. Alot of pressure is being lost thru the holes!! Enough that if i don't have the lids on when turning everything on I can hit the wall across from the tank!! ooopps!!lol

I'm thinking I'll just keep the flex hoses in the tank at a safe enough height to break things before the sump is topped off.
